Vintage Violin French Circa 1870 VN 1441

A French violin circa 1870 labelled Deconeti (Michel) Venice 1742. The wood of the one-piece back is reminiscent of early Italian violins and is complemented by a slightly arched top finished with a fine amber coloured oil varnish. This violin is modelled on a Strad pattern with hand drawn purfling and is probably of the Caussin School. Fitted with ‘Wittner Fine Tune’ pegs and Evah Pirazzi strings.
